With the Tab Pro 12.2, I am new to Samsung. I've discovered this [Connected to wifi network xxxxx] seems to be inherent in Samsung, but it's a killer for keeping this tablet because of environments with intermittent connections. Of course the most obvious "solution" was to turn off the notification in Wifi>Advanced setting, but that seems to be for availability, not connection. Turning off wifi where it is intermittent might seem like a no-brainer, but that's not practical as a wifi connection is desired. I read about wiping cache partition so I did that, but the notification still appears. Blocking Mode is on, but that doesn't seem to relate. Of course I read about a mod for an older galaxy tab, as well as an app, both of which require the currently non-existent root for this device.
How do I get rid of this incredibly annoying pop-up?

Quick question, hope it's not too stupid. I just got a GTab 8.0 (perfect screen size!) and it's great but one thing is mildly annoying. I keep getting a "now connected to "my Wifi network name" notification often. I'm not noticing any drop in connection or anything to indicate my WiFi connection is unstable, and it's rock solid with all my other devices too. Is this just a normal thing with the GTab?

I came here looking to see if there are any wifi issues after the latest update (Tab 3 7.0). I am seeing the same thing but wifi is disconecting upon sleep for me. What i see is a connection notification when I first wake the screen. If I catch it quickly, I can see that wifi was not connected.
Also, I tripled checked the wifi sleep policy and it is set to Always. This just started after the latest update. I am rooted so I reverted to older firmware and everything is back to normal.

I have experienced this as well on the 7.0, I also started receiving error messages from Gmail (via Aquamail) regarding "too many simultaneous connections" while this was happening. Anyways I have the 3G version and don't require Wifi use often, so I haven't thought much about this, but I'd call this normal.
I am having an issue with push notifications on wifi. Notifications do not come until I turn on my screen, then they come flooding in. If I leave my house and get LTE data they also come flooding in without turning on the screen.
Everything but facebook messenger seems to be affected for me. My wife's G3 phone works fine on wifi and does not have this issue. I have installed PNF and have the heartbeat set to 5 minutes, and the issue remains. I set my tablet to DMZ on my modem, and the issue remains. I am on the most current OTA from verizon (5.0.2).
Being I do not get LTE data in my house, this is a real killer for me (especially with texts and emails). Any suggestions of what to do next would be very much appreciated.
Do you have the Advanced WIFI option set to keep WIFI on when screen is off (the "Yes" option)? I don't keep my WIFI on with the screen on so I couldn't advise further.
Title explains most of my issue but whenever I want to do anything on my phone the WiFi always keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting on my G4, when i go to my WiFi settings while its disconnected it just says the network is saved and then when i connect to it, it instantly disconnects. If anybody has any solutions its would be gladly appreciated.
I have the same issue. One additional info I have is if I look at wifi immediately when it disconnects, it shows something like "Avoided poor internet connection....." even though signal strength is Excellent. It feels as though LG reduced the threshold of developer options' "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover". I have that option OFF.
I recently got a replacement Verizon G4 Hardware rev1 because of the constant horrible Qi Charging meltdowns. My new G4 seems to have a faulty Wifi module or something because my wifi will suddenly just stop working (even though still connected). I also get weird toast messages that is is disconnected/connected, when I am sitting a few feet away from my router.
My router is a newer AC router. The wifi analysis shows me on a good channel. None of my other devices (or previous G4s) have an issue.
I have 2.4 and 5ghz enabled so perhaps it is disconnecting and reconnecting to change bands. I haven't gave it much thought because honestlt I do this crap for work and been lazy. I think there is an option to use 2.4ghz only. That may prevent it bouncing occasionally.
I get the same thing. Very annoying

I just noticed this thread. My WiFi seems to get into a state where it does this too. What I've found is
1) it only does it when connected to 2.4Ghz WiFi. If I use my router's 5Ghz network it stays connected. Unfortunately the range of 5Ghz is not good enough for me to use this all the time.
2) it only happens when Bluetooth is enabled. If I disable Bluetooth then my WiFi stays connected. This is annoying to have to do and more of a workaround than a fix.
3) WiFi works perfectly in Safe Mode
I'd be interested to hear if this is the same for others who have this issue too.
Like I said, my phone seems to go through phases when this occurs, then (seemingly randomly) it fixes itself and works for a few days/weeks, but then it happens again. The state change seems to be triggered by installing/uninstalling apps but I can't make this happen at will.
Same issue here, very annoying. All other devices stay connected to WiFi just fine but this LG G4 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. I have an Asus AC router. The phone is connected to the 2.4 Ghz band. Not sure what to do...the phone just got an update (marshmallow)...the router is updated and working fine with all other devices.
Me too. Even when signal is great. This is terrible.
I know this is a pretty old thread, but I was just having the same issue on my g6. I found that it was because I disabled some of what I thought was just bloatware. By enabling both the LG "SmartWorld" app and the at&t " Smart Limits" app I was able to get my wifi working properly again.
I am not sure which one was the culprit, but I hope this helps anyone else digging back for a solution.
I've read (and THINK I understand) what smart switch is supposed to do (going all the way back to the Note4.
And it seems like the complete opposite of what wifi calling does.
Anyone care to explain the difference or real reasons one is used over the other?
Also on a related note, in the developer options category there is an option to turn on "Aggressive Wi-Fi cell h.."
With the explanation "switch from wifi to mobile networks more quickly when wifi signal is weak"
Kind of self explanatory and my question would be real work use. If you have unlimited data, any reason you would NOT want to check this?
Unless this just sounds great, but doesn't work well......
Thoughts?

Smart switch imports the data from your old phone when you switch to a Samsung phone; WiFi calling routes voice traffic over WiFi when available.
Sorry, I meant to say Smart NETWORK Switch. It says your phone will be connected to a mobile network if Wifi becomes unstable.
And Wi-fi calling kinda of says the exact opposite. If mobile becomes unstable, it will switch to Wifi......
Anyone?
Many times.. even when the wifi signal is weak, as long as wifi is turned on, the phone will remain connected to it. This especially happens when you are just pulling out of your house and you are trying to get to google maps for directions or something.. but because the phone is still connected to your home wifi, it'll remain so and since the connection is weak, you won't be able to browse or anything and google maps may say "no network connection".
I believe what Smart Network Switch does, is that in such cases, it'll immediately switch to mobile data.

This happens to me every morning in my driveway trying to route Waze. I get a weak wifi signal that the phone hangs onto and I get a no network error from Waze.
I have had an S22 Ultra since close to release and it seems to have almost daily (sometimes constant) wifi issues. Basically it will say "wifi connected without internet" and have the wifi symbol with the exclamation point. Going into airplane mode and back out and restarting my router and phone film plus temporarily help, but not for long. All my other devices work fine on wifi. It's seriously annoying. bee tv
Nope. No issues with WiFi. How are you connecting? DHCP? Static? Are you running a VPN on your phone? Did you change DNS settings on this phone? If you're using DHCP addressing, how large is your DHCP pool.
Lately, I've been having issues regarding WhatsApp. Sometimes it just uses mobile data to receive messages, and I get a system notification regarding this situation.
It only happens in this app, so I'm not blaming Samsung for this.
No issues whatsoever (SM-S901E model)
